is there an issue playing 4:3 content on a sdtv?there is on wdtv live:(

[smackjack22]

I bought this player which i still haven't gotten yet for the fact that i like how it supports flv files and the fact that wdtv has an issue playing sdtv content on a crt tv.What i mean is when you play a file it comes in fullscreen but part of the video is missing so you have to zoom out for every video.When you zoom out to 0.9 wide screen videos than show the whole picture ok but when you zoom out to 0.9 for a 4:3 video there's still bits of the video missing on the top and bottom of the video and if u zoom out to 0.8 there's black bars on each side of the screen.Does this player auto adjust each video to play fullscreen on a 4:3 tv without it over scanning the picture??What zoom options does it have?Am i going to have to zoom out for every video and still have the same issue as wdtv?

the PBO doesn't do any cropping (confirmed with SD and HD). So to fix your CRT cropping .9 zoom should do, if not then your TV would be further cropping the picture so there is not much you can do but further zoom out the picture.

ughhh its weird how people are worried about useless issues that can be done way better on a computer and not complaining about over cropping issues which affects every video.Hopefully the 0.9 zoom only have tiny bits of black boarders on all sides.Sounds like you would need 0.95 zoom just like i think the wdtv needs a 0.85 zoom or 0.86 or 7.Oh well now that i have both products there's twice the chance of one of them fixing this issueI don't have an hdtv yet just a crt tv.I'm assuming they have not added a 0.95 zoom in any firmware so far?

Any one with an HDTV (be it an LCD or a CRT) will consider your post as useless as you consider their posts questioning the things they are far more concerned about.

So its just subjective

Hopefully when you get your player and start asking here about stuff that only concerns you, people will answer you and not try not to pre-judge and put themselves in your shoes

Just a kind reminder that at the end of the day any one answering a question here already knows the answer for it, so its more or less a useless issue for him.

Peace.

do you know of a player that does do auto cropping and auto fullscreen 4:3 video without losing any picture?
